    Body will take ONE month to prepare. Weld lines shouldn't be a problem but what might be are the carbon bumpers that will be painted to match. TM said they will look 98% of the bare aluminum.

    I don't have Picts of the other cars but do have Picts of the aluminum sample created for the other Owner. The other 3 cars are a 599 GTO, Speciale, and Speciale Aperta. The ONLY reason I knew these cars existed was that my dealer was walking the line when he spotted the finished Aperta during an Atelier session last year.

    Interior soon. Also shields are painted, calipers are silver, wheels are Matte CdF like my Speciale. Stripe is a blue that matches the blue Matte Carbon Fiber. Funny, I can't remember which blue it is. Blu Scuro maybe.

    It might be TDF blue - I know my Aperta stripe is and that was the best match we found for the blue carbon at the atelier. I never saw the matte blue carbon. It think I'll go for that on my F12M interior.

    Definitely not TdF blue but it was considered. We chose a non metallic and we looked at Blue Le Mans, Scuro and Pozzi. It is either Scuro or Pozzi. Le Mans was too dark.

    Will it be similar to the 599 GTB created for Jean Todt?

    Oddly not even close. Several times I asked "will this look like chrome?" Emphatically no they said.

    Here is the sample. There is A LOT of "grain" in the aluminum. Even better in real life.

    That looks stunning and seeing your paint and leather samples it will look incredible in the flesh.

    Are the wheels Matt Grigio Corsa?

    That looks very pre 1950s race car. Amazing. Also reminds of the aluminium 275.

    Btw anyone got any pics of the aluminium 599 GTO?

    Very original and exciting and should look wonderful. Fascinated to see how they deal with the CF body elements. Just realised that it is a clever way to avoid the traditional poor Ferrari paintwork!

    First UK car I have seen on the road, albeit left hand drive.

    Wow! Amazing spec! Like a 50s race car as mentioned above but then with some ultra modern elements also. I think it will look really amazing and sharp. I am really looking forward to seeing your pictures! Congratulations!!

    It's funny how seeing a TDF in red is somewhat rare (compared to other colours).

    I for one do think it suits the car. Before I saw one, I did mention I thought black would be my favourite but it hasn't worked out that way. The white one with tricolore I posted earlier in the thread is one of my favourites, red looks great...TDF, grigio's, Azurro Dino. Strangely I'd prefer a lot of colours before my initial favourite!

    I'm very jealous of you guys getting these cars...jammy sods! ;)

    Can't wait to see Camlet's and yours.

    Yes the owner has a black LaF. No idea if he still has the Enzo.

    TM must be patting themselves on the back. Between you both you've created an exceptional spec. Bravo.

    Great original spec, but I would say that as slight echoes of my own! Cannot wait to see it as I think the most interesting of any posted or seen.
